EastCoast Car Service tests its drivers based on rigid criteria: all of them must undergo video training, behind-the-wheel-testing, and an apprenticeship before they're ready to take the reins for themselves. Once approved, the chauffeurs can begin captaining a fleet of luxury vehicles that includes sedans, SUVs, stretch limousines, vans, and metered taxis. These rides roll through town in style, carrying passengers for any occasion such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, business meetings, or a dog's celebrity poker tournament.

Equipped with a fleet of sleek and safe luxury vehicles, Santana Limo drivers are earnest about their chaperone duties—attached to every ride is a guarantee to provide punctual door-to-door service. Roomy vehicles encourage relaxing and reclining, as do in-car entertainment systems. Riders have access to an extensive collection of movies and music, making for an easy trip to a nearby town ($60.00 from West Palm Beach to Boynton Beach, $85.00 to Boca Raton,) or to a farther-away airport ($160 from West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International airport, $195.00 to Miami International). A 20% mandatory gratuity isn't included in today's deal, but Santana's top-notch customer service makes it well worth the tip. Call for specific rates or to schedule service.

The team of professional chauffeurs at Shack's Luxury Limousines could tell you some stories. But they don't because they're professional. Instead, they press their suits, buckle their seatbelts, and man a fleet of stretch vehicles that includes Town Cars, Escalades, Hummers, and Chrysler 300s. In the client's choice of vehicle, drivers spirit singles, groups, or demanding alien overlords wherever they'd like to go, from weddings and proms to parties and airports. Frequent rollers can sign up for membership in Shack's VIP Limo Club for regular pickups and drop-offs and access to the bar, which comes stocked with Grey Goose, Patron, champagne, or other select bottles.

Fun Rentals leases motorized excitement with four-hour scooter and ScootCoupe rentals, encouraging joy riders to explore beach and street alike in an expedient fuel-efficient cruiser. Like a domesticated velociraptor, the two-seater scooter is small, speedy, easy to park, and lasts all day on one dollar of gas. With a ScootCoupe rental, driver and passenger can sit side-by-side in the stylish three-wheeler as they jet about town at up to 40 miles per hour. The coupes are iPod–ready, allowing tech-toting motorists to roll to the sounds of classic rock or an audio-book biography of Millard Fillmore.

Whether a party consists of 4 or 40, FTL Limo, LLC ensures that the group can stick together as they traipse throughout the Miami area. The company's chauffeurs pilot a fleet that ranges from a Mercedes-Benz S550 sedan to a massive party bus, with wheels such as a stretch Chrysler 300 and a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van in between. The mobile mansions scoot all over town for any number of purposes, including transfers to and from major airports and ports and rousing bar crawls with corporate clients. Regardless of the sizes of the vehicles, passengers enjoy their commutes amid classy interiors decked out with creature comforts. Riders are free to take advantage of the free soda and flat-screen televisions while reclining on comfy leather seats.
